UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

THEODORE A. COOK, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.

PAIL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 313,990, dated March 17, 1885.

Application filed July 30. 1884. (X0 model.)

tion and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinatter fully described and claimed.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification,

in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both the figures.

Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of my new and improved pail or bucket; and Fig. 2 is a broken plan view of the metallic bottom of the pail or bucket, a portion being broken away.

The body A of the pail is made up of the staves a, which are crozed near their lower ends in the ordinary manner, as shown at I), to receive the metallic bottom B. The bottom B is made of'a circular piece of sheet-iron or heavy tin rolled at its edge, as shown at 0, around or so as to clasp the heavy metal hoop or ring d, and the bottom B is by preference made concaved in the center, as shown at e, to increase the capacity of the pail or bucket. The bottom thus formed is fitted in the pail or bucket in the ordinary manner, thus forming a very strong, light, and durable pail or bucket.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The body A, composed of the staves a, orozed at b, in combination with the metallic bottom B, made concaved at e, rolled at c, and provided with the ring or hoop d, substan' tially as described.

THEODORE A. COOK.
